Solphim, Ancient Avenger

Format: Commander

Commander: Solphim, Mayhem Dominus

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-red burn deck is commanded by Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, who doubles all noncombat damage dealt by sources you control to opponents. The strategy is straightforward: deploy cheap "pinger" creatures that trigger off noncreature spells (Guttersnipe, Firebrand Archer, etc.), accelerate mana with rituals and treasures, then chain instants and sorceries to burn the entire table out in a single explosive turn. The commander's doubling ability turns every 1-2 damage ping into a lethal threat. The deck also includes the Heartless Hidetsugu + Solphim finisher and a Reiterate loop with rituals to generate infinite mana and copy a burn spell for an immediate win. Primary win condition is repeated spell-based pinging; secondary is the combo finish.
